The Vector Signal Generator MG3710A is a best-of-class, multi-function, signal generator with excellent RF and baseband performance. The MG3710A features wideband vector modulation and offers built-in baseband waveform generation with large-capacity memory to ensure maximum versatility. It supports all key mobile communications and wireless LAN standards, and it also has the exceptional performance required for emerging and proprietary wireless communications technologies. Dual RF and Dual Waveform options enable a single MG3710A to output up to four independently modulated signals. The MG3710A makes it easy to implement complex test scenarios that would normally require multiple synchronized signal generators, such as:

Wanted + Interference Signals for Receiver Blocking Testing
Wanted + Two CW Tones for Receiver Intermodulation Testing
Wanted + Delayed Signals for Multipath Testing
Multiple Wanted Signals for MIMO Testing
Multiple Wanted Signals for LTE-Advanced Carrier Aggregation Testing
For these multi-signal applications, the MG3710A eliminates the cost of extra signal generators, simplifies equipment setup and calibration, streamlines system operations and speeds measurement times.

The following four types of waveform pattern can be used with the MG3710A

Built-in standard waveform patterns
Optional waveform patterns (sold separately) (MX3700xxA)
Waveforms generated by IQproducer waveform generation software (sold separately) (MX3701xxA)
IQ data generated by general-purpose signal-generation software and converted waveform patterns used by MG3710A
